explain how this is never the case, except where a spiritually
               aware  adult  provides  the  channel  for  God  to  work  through.
               God cannot work through an ego, this is because the ego is
               developed  through  choices  made.  That  these  choices  might
               have  been  overshadowed  by  the  influence  of  other  egos,
               nonetheless the individual who makes the choices has to take
               the  responsibility  for  making  them.  There  is  a  saying,
               "ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law". It could be said
               in the situation our young initiate finds themselves in, though
               they  are  ego  conscious,  had  they  not  had  strong  spiritual
               support  in  their  upbringing  they  are  ignorant  of  the  simple
               laws  that  truly  govern  their  existence  and  in  transgressing
               these laws will receive the effect of their ill informed choices.
               Society will always teach them to be angry at "bad" outcomes
               of poor choices, sometimes dismissed as "bad luck", or some
               fault  outside  of  their  own  control,  in  other  words  they  are
               thought to make excuses for making bad choices. Where there
               is an excuse there is no learning. People talk of a run of bad
               luck, it will only end when the choices made are appropriate,
               and one has learnt the lesson needed. There is no such thing as
               bad luck only inappropriate choices. Yes, we will continually
               make choices for ourselves, it is the phase of life the fourteen
               year  old finds  themselves  in,  and  this  is  why  they  need  the
               correct,  and  informed  support  of  those  around  them.
               Unfortunately it is difficult in present day society for them to
               find this. It really is important that all who are in the family
               circle and family friends are there to provide the guidance and
               strength for the growing child and their Spirit. God is always
               there for every child, represented by the environment that has
               been created by this child's entry into this world. How many
